Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade
Description
The Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade features plump sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, capers, fresh garlic, and basil, all combined and processed with olive oil until reaching the desired consistency. The multiple olive oil additions allow control over the spread’s smoothness, allowing it to range from chunky to creamy. The inclusion of Worcestershire sauce adds depth to its savory and slightly tangy profile, while fresh basil contributes a herbal brightness. Typically served with toasted baguette slices or crackers, this tapenade presents a rustic yet refined option for appetizers. The recipe encourages quality ingredients and attention to seasoning, which are crucial due to the limited components, making each element noticeable. It is straightforward to prepare with all ingredients combined in a food processor, and the presentation in a rustic-style jar adds a charming touch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3 anchovies
- 1 tablespoon capers drained
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic minced
- ½ cup basil
- 1½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and chop. Add olive oil until you get a smoother texture. Serve with crackers or slices of toasted baguette.
- I serve it in a "weck" pot like the ones you buy to put the mousse de foie gras in. It is a rustic presentation.
Notes
- Choose high-quality sun-dried tomatoes, preferably packed in olive oil, for better flavor and texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning during preparation to achieve a balanced and flavorful tapenade.
- Adjust olive oil quantity to control the texture to your preference, from chunky to smoother spreads.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with toasted baguette slices or crackers for best results.
